With today's economy being uncertain we know how difficult it can be to get someone to pay dues of any sort. We also realize that many of us don't charge our students on a regular basis - we teach because we enjoy the process of teaching and sharing our knowledge of our art.

Therefore we thank those of you who were able to get your annual dues in on time.

For these reasons we have sent awards to those of you who were able to do this. We understand what it takes to have a successful karate program and the sacrifices that go along with it.
